No One's P.O.V

Upon arrival at Springfields, both Abohaty and Glitz looked down to see the homes. Some were still left in their original condition, and some seemed to be getting repaired which put a smile on the Princess's face.

"Where do you think all the ponies went? The ones whose home was destroyed," Abohaty asked Glitz. Glitz continued to look down while saying,

"Probably a place in Canterlot or Ponyville or something. We don't have any of those places where ponies can stay temporarily."

"Maybe that can be something I can request, or just-" Glitz laughed, cutting off the pink mare. "What's so funny about that? I'm trying!"

"No, no, no it's just...Abohaty, you are the princess now. I mean, you were before, but I'm saying that no one is stopping you from doing what you have to do. All you have to do is present your orders to the high commission and they'll find a way to make it possible."

"Oh yeah..."

Abohaty and Glitz started to feel the carriage come closer to the ground. So she looked back up to see that they had landed outside of a newly built castle that looked nothing like the old. In fact, the castle looked to be her style. The first color she saw was pink.

"Oh wow," Glitz commented. "I don't know if I should be more shocked with how fast they rebuilt this or how different it looks..."

The doors of the carriage opened and Abohaty was the first to walk out, then after was Glitz. In front of them was a large gate that surrounded the full castle. That was never there before. Two of the guards were on each side of the gate entrance. One of them was Onyx. He bowed down as the gates of the door slowly opened.

"No need for that Onyx," Abohaty said. Onyx got up on his four hooves quickly and looked the Princess in the eye. "And...that too." Onyx tilted his head.

"Huh?"

"A simple wave would be better, and it actually feels friendlier if you ask me." She nudged him on his side. "Besides, I'm Princess Abohaty. Not Celestia, not Cadence, not Luna, or Twilight." Abohaty began to walk away to explore more as Glitz followed alongside her. They hadn't gotten inside the castle yet because there was a small garden place separating the gate and the door to the castle. "Ooo, these are pretty!" She looked over at Glitz who was also observing his surroundings. "Look at how pretty these flowers are! I see lilies, I see tulips..." Abohaty trailed off when she finally noticed the constant tapping on her body. She turned around to face Glitz, but he was looking at something ahead. Abohaty decided that she also should do that, and when she did, her jaw dropped. "No way!! Is that a statue of me?!" Abohaty ran over to it to get a better look at it.

The statue was large, and it had Abohaty in a posture where it looked to be like her giggling. Her hoof was up to her mouth, her eyes were closed and she was laughing. A few feet behind the statue was a brick wall. On the walls were three different murals but they all were connected in a way, just split slightly. It looked to be just one big mural if you placed the three closer together. In the middle part, the glass captured the moment Abohaty had defeated Amirah in the Internal darkness. Abohaty was on the right and Amirah was on the left. The side mural closest to Amirah showed the large damage she caused to the kingdom. The glass closest to Abohaty showed something more positive. It was vanishing the damage that had been caused by Queen Amirah and seemed more pleasant to look at. "Wow..." Abohaty muttered. "This is really beautiful..." The Princess made her way back to her royal guard who stood in front of the castle's door where there was another set of guards protecting the entrance.

The entrance door came down slower than those gates that had opened earlier for them. It was one of those doors that were attached to strings so that when it came down to let ponies in, it would be able to come up. But the door came down over the small river that was placed there.

"I'm still confused..." Glitz said. Abohaty chuckled.

"I am too, but I still like everything."

When the door came down completely, Abohaty and Glitz walked over the river together. Now they were entering the castle. The inside had a similar layout, for the most part, the colors were the only things inside that really changed. Before the two friends could walk any further, Princess Twilight and Celestia walked up to them

"You guys made it!" Twilight squealed. "How do you like the new place so far?"

"It looks great!" Abohaty responded. "You guys did I really good job with the things outside, everything looks gorgeous!" Twilight chuckled.

"We thought you'd probably like it. We had lots of help from Ponyville constructors and the high commission. Lots of ideas were put forth."

"Do you feel any better? Was Luna easy on you?" Celestia asked.

"Of she was! Princess Luna took great care of me." Abohaty knew she didn't answer both questions, she just didn't know how to answer the first one. She was currently having mixed feelings. She still felt devastated by what happened, but after seeing her new castle, she was in awe!

"You should go check out your room," suggested Twilight. "I don't think much changed in here aside from your room. We tried our best to have the whole place be slightly different but also similar because none of us really do know you. We know a little bit, but for the most part, not a lot."

"And going further, that means we should plan to get to know you," Celestia added on. "I swear, the gala was the first time I ever saw you in person." Glitz's eyes widened.

"How tragic..." he commented.

"But we should get going now. We've been here for so long already," Celestia said, grabbing Abohaty's hoof. "I just want you to know that even though we're different in a way, you can always feel free to stop by at my castle, or Twilight's, or you just call us over to you. We do love you dearly, but we all have kingdoms to run." Celestia let go of Abohaty's hoof.

"Yes, what Celestia said!" Twilight agreed. She looked around the castle as Celestia walked away. "BOOKWORM!!" Twilight called. The blue pony teleported right in front of her mother. When she realized that Abohaty was behind her, she fixed her glasses quickly.

"Oh hi there! My present for you is upstairs. Hope you like it...and the castle." She turned around quickly and started walking with her mother out of the door.

"I guess they beat us here!" Glitz said in shock.

Upon arrival at Abohaty's room, the two friends took the stairs. The outside of her room looked no different than before, and shockingly, there were no guards there to watch over the room. The closer the princess got to her room, the louder the voices inside got. She opened the door to find all of her friends seated in some part of the room. They all turned their heads and smiled.

"You made it!" Grammar shouted. he picked up his present. "Now open my present!!" he demanded. Abohaty chuckled and grabbed the box out of his hooves and started to unravel the wrapper with her magic. Inside the large box was just a single pen. And on the top of that pen, had Abohaty's head. It was like a miniature version of herself on the top of a pen. "Isn't just beautiful! I made it myself."

"Liar," Glitz called out. Abohaty chuckled and observed the pen closely.

"Well it is something different Grammar...but I like it." She gave him a hug. "Thank you." She looked back at her bed and noticed a ton of other gifts. A lot more than the number of ponies that were in the room. "Oh my god, did you guys each give me several things?"

"No, no, no," Kat said. "Some of this stuff is from the citizens of Springfield showing their love to you and some is from the high commission and guards and stuff."

"It's a lot," Bella summed up. "You might want to wait for a little."

"Do you like your room though? I think it's pretty!!" Kat admired, looking around.

Abohaty's bed was large and filled with multiple stuffed animals. Her room theme looked to be the season of spring, with flower and cloud designs everywhere, and just the atmosphere itself gave it away.

"Yes! I'd get used to it in here pretty quickly! It's just so-" A knock on the door interrupted the princess. Glitz went to open it and saw Flora.

"Is the Princess in here?" she asked innocently. Glitz turned his head to face Abohaty, figuring she heard the question pretty well.

"Yeah, I'm right here," Abohaty said, walking towards the door. She had just gotten here and already she was needed for something. She was sure of it.

"I know you kind of just got here, but we do need to have a conversation in the meeting room with you and Glitz."

And she was right.

Down at the conference room, waited Flamora and a few guards. Not many though. Glitz shut the door once Abohaty was seated in the main chair. The chair Nom Nom would typically take.

"...Is everything okay?" Abohaty asked, slightly worried.

"We know things just ended with Amirah and all, but now that your back, I think it's important that you make a speech for the kingdom. The sooner, the better," Flora said straight up.

"I can do that...I think. But like, what am I supposed to say?"

"Well, in your speech, we think you should acknowledge the war obviously," Flamora stated. "But we also think this is a chance to let the ponies know who's really ruling the kingdom now, and what steps you'll take to be moving this kingdom forward, and helping the citizens in need."

"Don't forget about the acknowledgment of Nom Nom and other crucial ponies' deaths," Flora added. "Although Nom Nom did not d such a great job with handling much, it's still important to have her be mentioned because she was a big part of your life."

"And we truly don't mean to burden this on you, it's just that it'd be weird if you said nothing at all about anything that went down that day."

"Yeah, yeah, of course. That's reasonable. I also think I should probably recite the ponies names who decided to help out," Abohaty suggested. Glitz's eyes widened.

"That's a long list, princess."

"Okay, maybe I should state them by groups then."

"If you want, we can help you write your speech," Flamora offered. Abohaty shook her head.

"Who said anything about me writing it? I'm just going to say everything from my heart. No script needed." This shocked some ponies in the room, but nopony objected.

"Glitz, I need you to signal to everypony in Springfields to gather in front of the castle's gate. I will be performing my speech on the balcony in about fifteen minutes."

"Are you sure?" he asked in a whisper. "You just got back..."

"Yup. I want to get it over with. Chop, chop!" The ponies in the room started walking out in preparation to hear the speech. Although Abohaty did not have a script to read from, she had a good idea of what she wanted to say to the public.
